Downtown Kitchener Ribfest & Craft Beer Show

It's 1.5 hours from Toronto so we took the train down and back. This way, we didn't have to fight the traffic on the highways. Plus, since we knew we'd be drinking beer, we didn't have to worry about driving home.

It's held in Victoria Park ... here's Gord just outside the park.

Here's Gord at the gate.

Admission is free and you pay for what you want. You buy a glass for $6 (which you take home) and then 5 ounce beer samples are $1 each.

We shared them and both were really good. I like a saucy rib so liked Camp 31's better. Gord likes a drier rib so liked Crabby's better.

Then we had some beer. Do you think Gord is happy to be there?!

A little later we got pulled pork sandwiches. We got this one ...

... at Jack the Ribber's (London, ON).

It looks like they have a lump of poo on their sign (it's a rib).

And we got this one ...

... at Blazin' BBQ (Paincourt, ON).

We shared them and they were tasty. I liked Jack the Ribber's better because it was sweeter. Gord liked Blazin' BBQ because it was smokier. The pulled pork sandwiches are a great deal ... $7 for a sandwich compared to $9 for four ribs.
